Retail Hydrogen Fuel Systems Regulation

On or before January 1, 2017, the director of the division of oil and public safety (director) is required to promulgate rules concerning retail hydrogen fuel for vehicles, including rules relating to inspections, measurement, and specifications. The director's rules must establish minimum design, construction, location, installation, and operation standards, and these standards must conform to the minimum standards prescribed in the National Fire Protection Association's national fire code, as revised by the Association from time to time. The division of oil and public safety is required to begin enforcing the rules on July 1, 2017. The director may promulgate rules to establish fees to offset the administrative costs incurred by the division of oil and public safety.

The act amends the definition of 'fuel products' to include hydrogen.
